摘要：Total hip replacement (THR) is a common and costly procedure. Number of THR is
anticipated to increase over the coming years. Two pathways of postoperative
treatment were compared in a randomized study.
As an outcome measure Oxford Hip Score (OHS) was used. All costs regarding the
treatment were for the two groups both in hospitals and after discharge were collected.
The data is studied using regression and cost-effectiveness analysis.
A shorter hospital stay augmented with better preoperative education and home
treatment appears to be more effective and costs less than the traditional in hospital
pathway of treatment ¨C a more efficient treatment.
